I love this time of the year, Halloween and Guy Fawkes are out of the way and I can focus my attention on Christmas and then the New Year! My practice is slowly winding down too, with this the 11 November, being the last Breastfeeding Workshop of 2009.
Anyway, I just wanted to jot down a [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I hope you can help me as I just don’t know what to do if you can’t. My baby is nearly 6 weeks old and has just regained his birthweight, because I started expressing after feeds and topping him up. I know I have milk, I was very engorged in the beginning and I [...]

My six week old son is being treated for reflux but as the medication is not working, I am concerned that it may be more to do the with way I position and hold him during feeds? I don’t want him to be in pain from not taking the medicine but similarly, I don’t [...]

Hello ladies,
Yes I am still around, I have been a bit hectic the last few days.
